is mon reborn jap?

i think so.

okok...

is cfm jap. They hav too many copies of it.

Just a thought.. dont u think if prizes are mostly jap cards, more newbies will join? i mean, most newbies also want to play jap cards... not to say those thinking of re-joining YGO like myself..

So which decks cannot have Side Decks for this mini Tournament?

Will check and let your know again.

Just a suggestion... I rather the organizer just ban Tier 1 decks from this tournament. It saves a lot of time and possible confusion in the future about the "No-Side-Decking" rule. Banning Blackwings are gonna be a problem though, because its quite commonly played amongst newer players as well. =S

Gah. Just hope you guys work something out. xD

Tier Lists are subject to individual opinion.

Player A: OMG X deck is so broken haxorzx combozxc 123!!!!!!!
Player B: Noob deck la.

Nevertheless, still a great idea if Cardmasters come up with their own Tier 1 list so we know what's to be avoided from playing. IMO side-decking should be allowed. It's detrimental to a duelist's growth if we restrict them from using their awesome side-decks filled with another 15 of their favorite cards.

The reason for not banning any decks (except six samurai) is so that new players can use those decks. Like some have pointed out blackwing and machina.

The list that cannot have side decks are as follows:
1) Black Wing or known as Black feather
2) Light sworn, any variation that has 6 or more lightsworn cards are considered
3) Dandy decks, Quick draw.
4) Machina decks
5) x-sabers,xx-sabers decks

Reasons for enforcing no sidedecks, is to disencourage people from playing tier 1 decks, it acts as a deterrence. If you want to, we will and cannot stop as we want people to play the decks.
I have noticed that despite how i post, people have the tendency to play decks they like, for example, dandy and BF. And we do not want to ban decks as much as possible. So we find that this method is the best.

As for the question on jap cards, its not true that all new players like jap cards. Its just that jap cards are on a whole more highly priced than english( ignoring secret rares and exclusives) we have players that play only english cards and insist on getting english cards only. In any prize pool, its best to diversify, open the slection for more groups.

Hope your questions are answered.

Kudos to Dr. brainy for doing the tourney as i am currently on reservist...

Well if lets say Player A is a Lightsworn deck, during second game, Player B sidedecks 3 Light-Imprisoning Mirror, DD crows and battle fader. and player A cannot side deck. Do you think Player A "sure win" ? If Player B play moranch deck lets say....

But depends on luck against BF. Truthfully i dun mind if there are more people playing frog monarch than BF. The cards are cheaper and its a good beginner deck to start out

frog monarch gay X.X

is gravekeeper counted as a tier one deck, or at least cannot side deck?

so lightlord and machina cannt side deck? sorry if i ask abit confused here.

as mentioned in the post

The list that cannot have side decks are as follows:
1) Black Wing or known as Black feather
2) Light sworn, any variation that has 6 or more lightsworn cards are considered
3) Dandy decks, Quick draw.
4) Machina decks
